I've been on Zyprexa for three years now and love it. It truly is the glue that holds me together. The first time I was on it, about four and a half years ago, I gained 25 lbs. in the first six weeks; this time I gained maybe 15 in a year, and have since lost that and another 45 lbs. on top of it. Just make sure your doctor keeps an eye on your blood sugar and cholesterol levels---Zyprexa is notorious for sending those numbers into the stratosphere. I'm glad it's working for you.
